The Democratic party has now been placed in charge of its own fate and the fate of a portion of the country ( the people directly related to it and the people reliant on it and those who have greatly benefited from being related) that it currently controls.

The values I see as ready to collapse include racism, sexism, elitism, anti science, and the use of lies to create political fantasies.

There is much positive that is associated with the cavalier, rural, conservative part of America. The above factors are not among them.

Now you have not loudly advocated any of them. You may have been fooled by some of the lies. You have have bought into the conservative fantasies. But you don't seem to spend a lot of time ranting in favor of the questionable traits of the Republican Party.

I see a struggle about to commence for what is left of the Republican Party. A few days ago, I believe Trump had the advantage over the Establishment and traditional conservatives. Now, with the lack of people showing up for Trump's goodbye at Andrews, I am not so sure. January 6th's big crowds, Trump flags and fanatic loyalty to Trump was totally missing. The expected insurgencies didn't materialize. Biden was able to set the tone.

Now if conservatives could let go of Trump, if the rejection of the establishment and the elites that was featured in the Tea Party days could return, if the Lincoln Project and similar disgruntled conservatives could bring together the remnants of the party...

We'll have to see.
